MATTER OF MARTIN v. COLUMBIA PICTURES CORPORATION

It would appear to be a reasonable and proper latitude of discretion to allow the inspection of corporate records in this case to go back to July 1, 1950. That, however, should be considered the presumptive cut-off date, and an examination of records behind that date should not be allowed except on a showing made by petitioner at Special Term, which would satisfy the court that a further backward examination into particular matters is called for by reason of information disclosed by the inspection allowed. The order appealed from is unanimously modified accordingly without costs. Settle order on notice.

Concur — Peck, P.J., Cohn, Breitel, Botein and Rabin, JJ.
